If you own a business or commercial property in NH, that has a commercial septic system, you probably know how crucial its timely maintenance is. Commercial septic tank pumping is part of maintaining your commercial septic system. Carl’s Septic specializes in commercial and residential septic pumping and other septic system maintenance and repairs in New Hampshire. If you need commercial septic pumping services, you can rely on the experienced technicians of Carl’s Septic.
A commercial septic system operates on similar principles to residential septic systems; only, they operate on a larger scale. These systems must be larger and more robust to handle the more extensive waste management needs of a business or commercial property. While they are larger, they still tend to fill up more quickly than residential septic systems and, therefore, need more frequent septic system maintenance such as tank pumping. Commercial septic pumping regularly is crucial for preventing septic backup into your business setting where it can disrupt your operation and lead to loss of revenue–not to mention the big mess that will need proper cleaning and sanitizing.
Commercial Septic System Operation
Your business septic system includes various features that each play a crucial role in its operation. As with a residential septic system, a commercial one is designed to ensure that waste from sinks, toilets, and tubs in your business flow down drain pipes to the commercial septic tank. Once the waste enters the tank, liquids are allowed to flow to the drain field (also called the leach field). Solids remain behind while the tank’s bacteria breaks them down. Once liquified, they too will pass to the drain field. In the drain field, the waste water is filtered and treated. Then, the system allows it to flow into the ground.
In both residential and commercial septic systems, the septic tank must be pumped out when needed. The leftover sludge that occurs after bacteria break down solid waste inside the tank will grow. This material cannot flow out the system. As it grows, it will block liquid waste from flowing out of the tank into the leach field. Once a clog forms, it’s only a matter of time before the business’s plumbing system is affected.
The business’s drains might initially become slow. If the tank is not pumped soon, the clog can cause sewage to back up into the business. Naturally, this can lead to a hazardous and odorous problem that affects the business operation. To reduce the likelihood of a clog, it’s important to have your septic tank pumped out regularly.
Depending on the size of your NH business and how much wastewater flows down its drains on a daily basis, your commercial tank will need to be pumped, on average, every one to three years. Keep in mind that there are various factors that determine the frequency of your tank’s pumping needs. These factors include:
Knowing the answers to these questions will help your septic maintenance coffee recommend a tank pumping routine.
Ideally, it’s a good idea to invite Carl’s Septic to inspect your commercial septic system on an annual basis. Our technicians can inspect your tank and recommend whether or not it needs pumping. We’ll also inspect the various aspects of your septic system and look for any signs of possible leaks.
It’s very important for businesses and commercial property owners to maintain their septic systems. Septic leaks can cause serious environmental problems, which is a business liability. With an annual inspection, you can perform your due diligence, ensuring that your system is functioning and maintained properly. A properly maintained commercial septic system can last for decades. However, failing to maintain your system can lead to serious plumbing problems.
Of course, even with the best maintenance, septic system problems can happen. Customers, for instance, can introduce items into the system that shouldn’t have been flushed. These items can cause terrible clogs in the system. That’s why Carl’s Septic offers emergency septic system repair service.

We can send our skilled technicians to your NH business to troubleshoot the problem and perform the necessary fix.
